# Sharing Instances
You can give full or limited access to your instance to other users. To start, open you instance details and find the Share button in the top right corner.
# Share an instance
Find the user you want to share the instance with by entering their email address and assign them a role from the dropdown menu. Move your cursor to each role for an explanation.
When you are ready, click on Invite User, an invitation will be sent to their email address. You will be able to see them on the list of People with access with the Pending status. After some time passes, you can send the invitation again by clicking on the button next to the status.
When assigning permissions, you can use the checkbox to give the staging environment the same permissions as the main instance.
From the moment the user appears on the list, you will be able to change their role, or remove their access completely, if needed.
When you return to My Instances, a new icon will appear on your shared instance's tile, and under Shares in the list view. Clicking on it will take you back to the share instance window.
# Custom privileges
If you choose Custom, you will be able to specify in detail, which privileges you want to assign to each user. Clicking on the checkmark by each category will tick all privileges in it.
